The inn provided a large food choice and reasonably priced drinks, which i appreciated. The staff was friendly and delivered good service, meeting all expectations. the breakfast was excellent, and the staff gave our dog a free sausage, which he definitely enjoyed. the room had nice, clean towels, another great bonus.
The shower was over the bath. This was a bit tricky.

i enjoyed a really tasty lunch of crab sandwiches and fat chips. i also had cherry and pistachio tiramisu with coffee ice cream, it was amazing!!! the staff were friendly, helpful, and polite, showing great humour. the atmosphere felt lovely and friendly.
my room was very tired, to be honest. i booked for one person and was put in a small triple room. it didn't smell clean and it was musty. the furnishings were stained.

The staff showed amazing friendliness. the food tasted good, filling every corner of my appetite. my dog felt welcome. The staff even brought her a bowl of water, a simple gesture that meant so much.
the shower above the bath presented a challenge. it was a bit tricky, especially since i am not as young as i used to be.
